BUS MINISTRY
From the very start, the bus ministry has been an integral part of Old Time Baptist Church. Currently there are three bus routes: East side, West side and South Buffalo/Lackawanna. |
CAMP MEETING
Old Time Baptist Church has had an annual tent meeting since it was started. Over the years it has grown and now people from many states and some foreign countries come to be a part of an old-fashioned "Camp Meeting". God has truly blessed this meeting and many souls have been saved and lives changed. Pastor Guadagno's burden is to be a help to full-time Christian workers and laymen alike.

COUPLES MINISTRY
The Couples Ministry was established to provide fellowship between married couples. Wide-ranging and exciting activities and outings are scheduled many times throughout the year including seasonal-theme events. Childcare is provided for some of these activities so parents don't have to worry about finding a babysitter. |
LADIES' MEETINGS
This meeting takes place on a monthly basis, usually the first Tuesday. Ladies enjoy a time of fellowship, a helpful lesson brought by a special speaker and some refreshments. Ther are also special projects that are occasionally worked on such as care packages for missionaries and veterans as well as preparations for upcoming church events. Teen girls and ladies are encouraged to attend. |
MEDIA MINISTRY
All of the messages as well as special services are recorded and available in audio CD, DVD and MP3 format. Revival meetings and conferences are also available in special packages. The extensive tape and video library goes back to the beginning of the church. Click Here to listen to weekly Windows Media sermons from the pulpit of Old Time Baptist Church.> |
MEN'S MEETINGS
Once a month, usually the first Saturday, the men of the church gather for a time of fellowship, food, and teaching. This is open to all the males in the church, from young children on up. This is a very casual time that is hosted by one of the men in their home. All men bring a dish to pass and there is a time of fellowship before Pastor Guadagno takes some time to bring a relevant devotional from God's Word. |
MUSIC MINISTRY
Old Time Baptist Church believes that music is a very important part of worship and ministering to people. The music department's philosophy of Bible-based, conservative Christian music is reflected in the services. Children's and Adult choirs as well as other groups ranging from solos to multiple-member ensembles provide the special music. |
NURSERY
Nursery facilities are provided for all regular services for children ages 0 to 24 months. The nursery staff is comprised of loving and caring ladies who have a burden for the little ones. |
NURSING HOME
The Nursing Home ministry has an outreach to five nursing homes a month throughout the area. The elderly who attend the services receive a blessing from the singing, special music and a message brought by one of our preachers. |
OLD TIME BAPTIST ACADEMY
Started several years ago, Old Time Baptist Academy is a K-12th grade Christian school utilizing the A Beka curriculum as well as various other specialized courses. Our students are taught by loving, godly teachers in an atmosphere that promotes learning. The students also participate in weekly chapel services, music lessons are available, and various field trips are scheduled throughout out the year. Click here to visit the Academy web site. |
OLD TIME BAPTIST BOOKSTORE
The bookstore has a wide selection of Bibles (KJV), conservative Christian music, books, Bible study helps, gifts and much more. The Bookstore is open after each Sunday morning service and before and after each evening service. Special orders can also be placed any time.

PRAYER CHAIN
A way of getting word to church folks to pray for emergencies has been developed using phone and email. When information about an urgent need is received then notice is given to everyone wanting to be informed so they can pray about the need. Church members voluntarily sign up to be a part of this ministry. |
PRISON MINISTRIES
The Old Time Baptist Prison Ministry preaches and teaches weekly at the Collins and Gowanda Correctional Facilities. Special one- and two-day prison revivals are held at these and other state prisons around Western New York throughout the year. A Correspondence Course is offered in which the inmates take and work on at their own pace with a certificate awarded upon completion. |
SENIORS FELLOWSHIP
Every Saturday at 10:00am (from March thru December) the Senior Saints meet for fun, food and fellowship. The seniors enjoy a time of singing, followed by Bible games and quizzes, a time to share prayer requests, special music, preaching, and then a good home-cooked meal prepared by the ladies of the church. Everyone 50 years and up are invited. Limited, free transportation is available upon request. |

SOUL WINNING
There are two opportunities during the week to participate in organized visitation and soulwinning.
Every Tuesday "Mission Possible" meets at 5:45pm for a light dinner and at 6:15pm a challenging message is given. There are various activities to participate in: writing letters to missionaries, follow-up visitation, door-to-door soulwinning, and passing out tracts. A nursery is provided as well as a Bible Club for the children while their parents go out on visitation.
Every Saturday at 10:00am is door-to-door soulwinning. The Bible commands to "preach the gospel to every creature" and that is the goal. |
SUNDAY SCHOOL
There is something for everyone who comes to Sunday School - graded classes from the toddlers on up through adults. There are also classes designed to meet specific needs: The "Roses" class; Little Lambs for 4 & 5 year olds; and the "Foundations" class for new converts. While the adults are in the main auditorium during the 11:00 preaching hour, the junior and primary church services are taking place downstairs. |
YOUTH DEPARTMENT
In addition to the teen Sunday School classes we have a teen ministry that has lots to offer. There are singing groups and choirs to participate in. Summer Camp has seen many young people be saved and make life-long decisions. Our teenagers are encouraged to be involved in various areas of service in the ministries of the church. Special activities are scheduled on a regular basis throughout the year, including seasonal activities. Pastor Guadagno has a great burden for the young people and each one knows they are loved and appreciated. |
YOUTH DETENTION CENTER
On a weekly basis a group of men and ladies go to the West Ferry Youth Detention Center in Buffalo to minister in song and preaching. The young people of this facility are there for variety of reasons including trouble at home as well as committing a crime. Salvation is the main thrust of the preaching and counsel.
